A splendiferous sisterhood adventure in the follow-up to Luc\u00eda the Luchadora. Luc\u00eda\u2019s little sister Gemma wants to be a luchadora too, but she seems to find trouble wherever she goes. When Gemma makes a hole in Luc\u00eda\u2019s special silver mask, Luc\u00eda is furious, so Abuela suggests a trip to the mercado to get Gemma her very own lucha libre mask. But just as Gemma finds the right mask for her, the girls get caught up in a whole heap of trouble, including a runaway Gemma, a lost kitten, and a lost lucha libre mask! But Gemma and Luc\u00eda end up working together to save the day and Luc\u00eda learns that some things, including trouble making little sisters, are one of a kind.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n\n

LUC\u00cdA THE LUCHADORA<\/h3>\n

\n April 2017,\n POW!,\n 32 pp <\/p>\n\n

\n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>

Girls can be superheroes, too. When the boys on the playground tell Luc\u00eda that girls can\u2019t be superheroes \u2013 despite her high-flying leaps \u2013 she comes up with a plan to disguise herself as a masked luchadora like the superhero stars of lucha libre, or Mexican wrestling. With her identity hidden behind a dazzling silver mask, Luc\u00eda becomes a sensation. But when she hears the boys teasing another girl, she must decide between breaking the sacred luchadora rule of never revealing her identity or standing up for what is right. Bold, colorful illustrations and an energetic pace make this a fun read-aloud. A story about courage, readers will root for spunky Luc\u00eda as she finds out what it takes to be a true luchadora.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n\n
